Shark in the Water

Your guide to Gig: Shark in the Water in Cyberpunk 2077. Learn how to deal with Blake Croyle, the Animals gang, and Roger Wang in Kabuki.

Alright, choom, let's talk about the Gig: Shark in the Water. This one's a bit of a classic setup: a fixer wants a problem taken care of, and you're the one to do it. This time, it's about reclaiming a clinic in Kabuki that a nasty piece of work named Blake Croyle, a big shot in the Animals gang, has strong-armed from its owner, Roger Wang. Regina, your fixer for this job, wants Blake out of the picture so Roger can get his place back. ### Walkthrough So, the main deal here is to head over to the clinic Blake's taken over. You'll need to find him, and then, well, neutralize him. The game gives you a choice here: you can either incapacitate Blake or go for the kill.

But if you take him out permanently, she'll be way more enthusiastic, letting you know both she and Roger are super happy with your work. After you've dealt with Blake, you'll need to carry his body to the fixer's transport and then get out of there. Easy enough, right? Just remember, Blake's got muscle from the Animals watching his back, so be ready for a fight. ### Journal Entry Regina's got the lowdown for you: "Racketeering's the name of the game in Kabuki. The badges pretend like they don't see when hustlers like Blake reel in the next victim. The script's always the same. Act I - a promising money deal. Act II - an unpayable debt. The sucker this time was Roger Wang, store chain owner. Blake's already seized ownership of one of the stores but has bigger plants. Like I said, this kind of debt's unpayable, so Wang got wise and paid us instead. This human shitstain Croyle is about to disappear, so the time to act is now. And one more thing - Blake's got h ### Objectives Here's the checklist Regina gives you: * Go to the store seized by Blake Croyle. * Find Blake. * Neutralize Blake. * Carry Blake to the fixer's transport. * Put Blake in the fixer's transport. * Leave. ### Associated Shards Keep an eye out for these shards if you're into the lore: * Archived Conversation: Ben Azaria and Sasquatch * Archived Conversation: Blake Croyle and Tim Autry
